2. cadmium released from aging galvanized pipe

cadmium cannot be filtered out of your water, both drinking water and
water used to wash clothes, and can eneter your body from either source

"Cadmium may enter water as a result of industrial discharges or the
deterioration of galvanized pipe."

3. fiberglass insulation dust in air

it leaks from attic directly into house and through ductwork of
heating/air conditioning if the ductwork is not 100% sealed up and rarely
is 100% of residential ductwork sealed, especially with time as the
ductwork breaks down and loses its seal

"the state of California does require that fiberglass be labeled as a
potential carcinogen"

"Overall shoddy construction standards on today's mass-produced homes
further increase the odds that there is some amount of fiberglass in your
home environment.."

supposedly, after the first couple of weeks of use, pvc pipe and
plumbing fittings have none of the potential poison problems of
galvanized or copper plumbing, and even a one inch piece of galvanized or
copper in an otherwise total pvc house plumbing system (except for
faucets, etc.) can cause problems

each respective industry has known about the health problems of their
products

however, profits are often put ahead of consumers' health


What is your point? (seriously)

you won't get it if you haven't already




Your claims about copper and galvanized iron are rather silly.

they aren't my claims, i am the messenger
